It is also said that at the time Adam u was created that light was
first placed at his back upon his shoulders.

Wherever Adam u went, rows upon rows of angels followed him, gazing at
his back, and when he stood still, they stood behind him, praising and
celebrating this shining light. Adam u finally addressed the Lord and
said, �Oh my Lord, why is it that there are always so many angels
gathered at my back, what is the wisdom in this?� The Lord answered
him, �Oh Adam u, on your back I have placed the light of Muhammad, and
the angels are forever paying their respects to it.�

Thereupon Adam u said, �Oh my Lord, do Thou place this blessed and
revered light in front of me, so that the angels are not always behind
me.�

The Lord granted him this favor and placed the light of Muhammad {s}
upon Adam�s u forehead. Now the angels always stood facing Adam u as
they revered this blessed light. Adam u perceived the great love and
devotion the angels held for this light, until at last he made
supplication to his Lord, saying, �Oh my Lord, will You not grant me
the privilege of once seeing this wonderful light which all these
myriads of angels are incessantly adoring?

*

The Lord heard his prayer and in answer to Adams u supplication
He placed the light of Muhammad {s} upon the index finger of his right
hand (which is called the Shahada finger).
*

The finger began ringing the praises of this most auspicious
light, and Adam u along with all the angels heard it and named that
finger �sajah�.
*

They then continued to praise the owner of that magnificent
light, reciting Salawat upon the most noble and perfect of all
prophets, upon whom be peace, and not only the angels, but all of
creation began praising the light of Muhammad {s}.

At the time when Adam u and his wife Hawa were by divine command
expelled from their blessed abode in the Garden of Eden, their
Paradise clothing was stripped from them so that they grew aware of
their nakedness and felt shame. They sought to conceal themselves from
the blessed angels, and tried to hide behind the trees of Paradise.
But the trees refused them, all except the �Ud tree (the aloes).

Allah Almighty addressed this tree and asked it why it had sheltered
Adam u and Hawa whereas none of the other trees had done so. The �Ud
tree answered, �Oh gracious and merciful Lord! You have placed the
light of Your beloved Muhammad {s} upon Adam�s u forehead and You have
commanded all of creation to praise this wonderful light as they gaze
upon it. Adam u came to me with this light upon him, begging for
shelter. For the sake of this hallowed light, how could I refuse him?
I felt shame for this blessed light and accepted it into my shade, oh
Lord!�

Allah Almighty replied, �Oh, �Ud tree! For that you have so honored
the light of My beloved, I will cause you to be more highly esteemed
by My servants among men than any other tree, and I have made your
leaves to be white; however, since you have acted as you did without
My leave, you will not be able to give off your much-desired fragrance
lest you are burnt to ashes.�

According to another narration: when Adam u and Hawa were stripped of
their robes of Paradise and ordered to go down to earth and leave
their celestial abode, they looked about at all the marvels and
heavenly splendor they were to leave behind, and began to weep
bitterly for what they had lost. All the trees of Paradise wept along
with them, all except for the �Ud tree (the aloes). Allah Almighty
addressed that tree, asking it, �Why are you alone of all trees in
Paradise not weeping for Adam u and Hawa?�

The tree answered, �Oh my Lord, it is upon Thy command that they leave
the Jannah (Paradise); out of respect for what Thou hast commanded I
do not weep for them.� The Lord then said, �For that you have shown
respect for my divine command, I decree that on earth they will not
benefit from your fragrant essence until they have put fire to your
wood.�

The tree then asked, �Oh my Lord, as You have willed me to be burnt,
do tell me what is the wisdom of it?� The tree then received this
reply: �It is because you have showed no compassion with My Prophet in
his need that I have decree for you...�

When Adam u and Hawa stood naked they looked about from which tree
they might take a few leaves to cover their nakedness. All the trees
surrounding them lifted up their branches away from them and refused
them even a single leaf. Desperately they searched, until they came to
the fig tree. This tree took pity on them and gave them some of its
leaves to cover themselves with. However, no sooner had they taken the
leaves from this tree than they turned black and brittle and fell away
from them, uselessly. Upon this, they wept even more bitterly than
before, and there came to them a call which they heard and understood:
�Know that whomever the Lord has stripped of his covering, no one has
the power to clothe! The servant forsaken by his Lord can receive no
help from any quarter!�

Upon these words, Adam u turned to his Lord, the Almighty Source of
All Things, and pleaded with Him to grant them the gift of covering
their nakedness. Again they came to the fig tree, and it willingly
gave them a few leaves. Adam u shook the tree, and three leaves fell
from it. With these Adam u covered himself. He then shook the tree a
second time, and this time five leaves fell from it. These Hawa used
to cover herself with. From that time onwards, it has been the custom
to wrap men�s bodies for burial in three pieces of unstitched cloth,
while women are wrapped in five pieces of cloth.

The Lord then said to the fig tree, �Oh fig tree, why did you make
Adam u a gift of your leaves?� The tree replied, �Oh my Lord, You had
not prohibited it, so I gave them some of my leaves.� The Lord then
spoke to the fig tree, �As you took pity on Adam u when My Wrath was
upon him, I shall make you very brittle and hollow from within, so
that men shall not climb upon you nor use your wood for any purpose,
nor will they burn you for fuel. Your leaves I will make brittle and
harsh, and no living creature on earth will find them tasty or sweet.�

When the Lord of the Worlds issued His divine command for Adam u to go
down from Paradise and settle upon the earth, Adam u in his distress
called upon the souls of all the prophets who were to be his
offspring, and he called upon the noble soul of Muhammad {s}, the seal
of the prophets, to intercede with the Lord on his behalf, and he wept
long and much. �What is the hidden meaning of this,� he cried, �that
my Lord has created me and placed me in these Paradise gardens, only
to remove me now from this abode of bliss and making me to live in the
lower world, upon the earth?�

The Lord Almighty answered his wailing thus:

*

�Oh Adam! In My majesty and might, I have created you to be My
representative on earth; the reason I first set you to live in these
gardens of Paradise is this:
*

so that from this day on until the Last Day you and all your
descendants may look to this realm of bliss as to their real and true
native land;
*

that they may turn their hearts towards it full of longing and
desire, and
*

that they may believe in My unity and confirm the message of all
My prophets and messengers, and respond in their words and works to My
command.
*

Thus they will exert themselves to regain their homeland of
Paradise.�

Therefore some of the learned in the scriptures have interpreted the
saying of the Prophet {S}: �Love of one�s homeland is a part of faith�
as referring to Paradise, the original home of man, and this saying is
a sign and indication of this secret. Adam u, when he received his
Lord�s words, understood His intention and left Paradise behind him.

Adam u descended upon the mount of Sarandib (Sri Lanka) while Hawa
came to earth at Jeddah.

*

Shaytan was cast out also, but opinions differ as to where he
landed: some say it was at Basra, some say at another place Near Bali,
but some even say he alighted at no particular place at all.
*

Now, when Adam u and Hawa were expelled along with Iblis, Iblis
conceived within himself an evil suggestion.
*

�I have succeeded in driving Adam u and his mate out of
Paradise,� he thought to himself,
*

�what damage can I do him now that he is coming to earth, what
intrigue can I work against him there?�

Wondering about this, he called together all the wild beasts living on
earth and told them that Adam�s u advent would result in his progeny
peopling the whole earth and hunting all the wild beasts to
extinction. �Woe on us,� they cried, �what are we to do?� Shaytan
replied, �This is what you must do: gather all together at the spot
where Adam u is to descend, and as soon as he arrives, attack him all
of you and tear him to pieces. That will be the end of him for all
times.�

Thus Iblis excited the wild beasts against Adam u before he came to
earth. When Adam u set foot on the ground he found all the animals
gathered round him, prepared to attack. Adam u was bewildered at this
reception and knew not what to do. The angel Jibra�il u came to him in
less than an instant and told him, �Oh Adam, put out your hand and
stroke the head of the dog, that you might witness the power of our
Lord to effect the strange and wondrous.� Adam u did as the angel
counseled him, and no sooner had he touched the dog than it turned
against its fellow creatures and fell upon them, so that they
dispersed in confusion. Since that day the dog is the enemy of all
other beasts of prey, and he attacks them wherever he chances upon
them.

Adam u spent his first long years on earth weeping constantly,
entreating the Almighty to forgive him and show him mercy. At long
last he also prayed to the Lord to reunite him with his wife, Hawa.
His prayer was then accepted, and it is written that the Lord Himself
inspired in Adam u the words of supplication that made his prayer
acceptable:

Thereafter Adam received certain words from his Lord, and he turned
towards him.... (The Cow, 35)

The commentators have written much on this subject; here only two of
their remarks shall be mentioned. One is transmitted from Sayyiduna
�Ali who relates that Adam�s u prayer for forgiveness was this:

La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, Rabbi, a�amiltu su�an wa zalamtu nafsi
wa anta arham-ur-rahimin. (There is no God but Thou, Glory to Thee; my
Lord, I have done wrong, I have wronged my own soul, and Thou art most
merciful of those that show mercy).

The Holy Prophet {S} says that Allah Almighty will pardon him who
entreats Him with these words, even if his sins be as numerous as the
foam upon the waves of the ocean, or the grains of the desert sands.

Secondly, Hasan of Basra relates that the words given to Adam u were
these verses of the Holy Quran:

...Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if Thou dost not forgive us,
and have mercy upon us, we shall surely be among the
lost. (The Battlements, 23)

*

When Adam u pleaded to the Lord in these words, Allah Almighty
forgave him, and sent down to him from Heaven a house which had been
made in Paradise,
*

that was called the �Bayt al-Ma�mur, the heavenly house.
*

Two doors it possessed, one of which opened to the east, the
other to the west, and it was set down at the spot where today the
Kaba stands at Mecca.
*

Adam was then commanded through revelation to circumambulate
this heavenly house, and he was taught the rites of the Hajj and the
Sa�i by the angel Jibra'il u himself.
*

After completing the Tawaf and Sa�i,
*

he was led out to Arafat to be reunited with Hawa. She had spent
the long years of separation looking for him in this place, and as it
was the place of meeting and, as it were, re-acquaintance, it was
known henceforth as �Arafat� which means �to get to know�.
*

The angel then asked them what they hoped for from their Lord,
and they answered, �We seek nothing but His pardon and forgiveness,�
wherefore this place is called Muna (hope, wish, desire).

Now every time Adam u wished to consort with his wife Hawa, they would
proceed by purifying themselves and by making preparations so that the
sublime light that was housed in Adam�s u body might be transferred to
his wife while in a state of purity, and they persisted in these
efforts. Each time Hawa became pregnant, she would look at her husband
Adam u, and when she perceived the light of Muhammad {s} upon his
brow, she knew that she had not yet conceived his successor.

Hawa was pregnant twenty times, and each time she bore him twins, a
boy and a girl.

*

Until one day she conceived the father of the prophets, Seth u:
she then saw the light upon Adam�s u brow disappear from its place
only to relocate upon her own.
*

She greeted it with great joy and celebration.
*

Allah Almighty created Seth u as the only single birth in her
womb, as an honor to the light of Muhammad {s}.
*

This was an omen to them that the owner of this illustrious
light was about to be born into the world and that though he was of
mankind, there was none like him and no one matched him in perfection.
*

When the child was born, they named him Seth u, and the meaning
of this name is �gift of God�.

When Hawa had born her son Seth u, she looked at him and saw the light
of Muhammad {s} sparkling upon his brow.

*

The Almighty also placed a veil between Seth u and Shaytan, so
that he was shielded and protected from his wiles.
*

The angels circled round the child and honored him, and from the
heavens on high a call was heard: �Good tidings to thee, oh earth, and
all thy inhabitants!
*

The proof of the light of Muhammad {s} has shone forth upon Seth
u, it illuminates the heavens and the earth!
*

This light will continue to pass from the pure to the pure,
until such a time as its rightful possessor will appear in the world
of men!�

This heavenly voice was heard every day until the boy Seth u had
reached the age of puberty. Adam u then called his son to him, gazed
at his forehead and said to him, �Oh my son, truly the Lord of might
and glory has promised to me that this light of Muhammad {s} which is
upon your brow shall not be taken from the world and shall not
disappear. However you must take care that it is passed only to such
women as are very chaste and pure, and of outstanding virtue.�

Thereafter Adam u turned to the Lord and prayed: �Oh Allah! I have
received a promise from this servant that he will carefully preserve
this noble light, and I bear witness to this, his commitment. Oh Lord,
wilt Thou not send a witness to confirm this solemn pledge?� The Lord
then sent the angel Jibra'il u with a host of seventy thousand angels.
They brought with them a piece of white silk from Paradise, as well as
a pen from the heavenly pens.

They saluted Adam u and spoke to him, �The Lord Almighty says: Verily,
the time is nigh for the light of My beloved Muhammad {s} to travel
down through the generations; therefore, prepare and make your bequest
to your son Seth. Let him swear a solemn oath that he too will pass
this on to his sons, and they to theirs, until the time is ripe for
the rightful possessor of this noble light to come into his own. The
heavenly angels this day bear witness to this solemn pledge that you
undertake, to ensure that this light is carried down through the
generations only by those of pure and chaste comportment, who refrain
from all manner of lewdness and sinful action and seek to keep the
line of transmission untainted. Today this oath is witnessed by the
angels and penned down upon this white silk from Paradise.�

Jibra'il u had brought another object from Paradise:

*

this was a box in which were kept the descriptions of the great
prophets and messengers.
*

The piece of white silk was placed therein.
*

Next, two crimson robes were brought and Seth u was clothed in
them.
*

Then a contract of nikah (marriage) was drawn up for him with a
woman by the name of Nahwailat al-Baida who in beauty and nature
resembled his mother Hawa.
*

The angel Jibra'il u performed the nikah ceremony and recited a
khutba (sermon) for them and thus they were man and wife.

When this lady now became pregnant from Seth u, she heard a voice
calling to her: �Oh Nahwailat-al-Baida! Good tidings to you, you have
conceived the successor of that luminous light which is upon your
husband�s brow!� Thus she was cheered.

*

When she bore the child, they named him Enush. The child was
protected from the wiles of Shaytan the Accursed by this noble light.
When the boy had grown, his father Seth u said to him, �Oh my son,
when you marry, be mindful of selecting a pure and chaste woman, for
you are to be my successor.�
*

Enush heeded his father�s words, and in time he passed on
*

the trust to his son Kan�aan, and he to
*

his son Mahalalel, and
*

he to Yered, his son.
